Gui Wu’s expression also turned serious.
The six people before them were no ordinary Earth-level powerhouses. These individuals were masters of assassination. Should she and Ye Cangtian make the slightest mistake, they would be utterly doomed.
"Po Xiao, these six were originally prepared exclusively for you."
"It's a shame Gui Wu had to butt in. In that case, let's just consider her a bonus!"
With a six-on-two advantage, Kuluomen felt incredibly confident, which was why he mocked the pair of Po Xiao and Gui Wu.
"Heh, didn't you hear what I said earlier?"
"Then I'll repeat it. Even a swarm of ants are still just ants. Moreover, you only have six ants, not even enough to scare someone."
Ye Cangtian smiled faintly and spoke with disdain.
As he spoke, he slowly stood up from the sofa, flicked his cigarette butt to the ground, and crushed it.
His series of actions seemed to imply that his opponents were like the cigarette butt, easily crushed.
"Good! Good! Good! Good!"
Seeing Po Xiao’s actions, Kuluomen uttered the word "good" four times in a row, his face so dark it looked like it could bleed.
He had seen arrogant people before, but never someone so brazen while surrounded by six Earth-level powerhouses!
"Po Xiao, you are even more arrogant than the rumors suggest. Today, I am truly enlightened!"
Kuluomen cast a chilling glance and continued, "Then today, let me see what gives you the right to be so arrogant!"
As he spoke, Kuluomen exchanged a look with the other five, then simultaneously drew their daggers and lunged towards Po Xiao.
In the hearts of the five, Po Xiao was their greatest threat. Once Po Xiao was dealt with, the remaining Gui Wu would be easily captured.
"Are you treating this grandma like air!"
As the five made their move, Gui Wu's voice instantly echoed.
Out of the six Earth-level powerhouses, not a single one had attacked her. It was clear they underestimated her, and she couldn't stand for that.
Furthermore, as Ye Cangtian's subordinate, how could she let Ye Cangtian face difficulties alone?
The moment her voice fell, Gui Wu had already appeared behind Ye Cangtian, blocking two assassins who were preparing to launch a surprise attack from behind.
"Hmph! Ignorance breeds fearlessness!"
At the same moment, Ye Cangtian's icy voice rang out. A golden light flashed in his hand, and his Golden Great Ring Saber appeared.
Immediately after, he swung his arm with great force, unleashing a sweeping blow that repelled the four assassins before and beside him.
This was not the end.
Instead of pursuing, Ye Cangtian’s figure moved backward, changing direction.
With lightning speed, he swung his saber and decapitated the two behind him.
"No!"
Seeing the golden light flash, the two behind him simultaneously cried out in terror.
They had never imagined that four Earth-level powerhouses attacking Po Xiao had failed to hold him, nor had they expected Po Xiao to strike them first.
At this moment, their attacks were blocked by Gui Wu, and they were locked in a power struggle with her. When Po Xiao's attack arrived, they were completely unable to resist or dodge.
After all, they were locked in a contest of strength, requiring their full attention. It wasn't that easy to retract their moves!
*Pfft! Pfft!*
Two consecutive sounds rang out. A bloody gash appeared on both their necks, and then blood sprayed out.
Bastards!
Seeing this scene, Kuluomen and the other four were shocked and enraged.
They hadn't expected that after just initiating the fight, Po Xiao had already killed two Earth-level powerhouses, and under their combined assault.
This strength was truly terrifying!
However, even so, Kuluomen let out a roar of fierce anger, "Kill!"
His roar seemed to ignite everyone’s courage. The remaining three instantly charged towards the pair of Po Xiao and Gui Wu again.
But the next moment, Ye Cangtian chuckled.
Despite Kuluomen's imposing display and the four attacking together, only two actually charged forward.
Kuluomen and another assassin merely feigned their attack. Before they even reached Ye Cangtian, they had already dispersed and fled.
It was obvious they had sold out the other two assassins.
Although Kuluomen felt incredibly ashamed of this method, there was no other way.
Po Xiao and Gui Wu had instantly killed two Earth-level powerhouses while being surrounded by six opponents. Now, with only four remaining, they knew they were no match for Po Xiao.
Rather than stay and be killed, it was better to retreat and regroup.
"Kuluomen, you two bastards! I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"
The other two Earth-level powerhouses who had been betrayed roared at Kuluomen. They hadn't expected Kuluomen to be so devoid of honor.
"You should worry about yourselves!"
As the voice fell, the bodies of the two Earth-level powerhouses trembled. Ye Cangtian and Gui Wu had already blocked all their attacks.
This was not the end. Ye Cangtian and Gui Wu's follow-up attacks were already upon them. Their faces changed drastically in fear, and they immediately screamed.
"Lord, spare my life!"
*Pfft!*
The next moment, blood gushed from one person's body. Gui Wu hadn't held back, nor did she intend to.
In her opinion, leaving one survivor was enough. Any more would just cause more trouble.
Meanwhile, Ye Cangtian had managed to stop his attack in time.
*Thump!*
The next moment, the surviving Earth-level powerhouse immediately knelt before Ye Cangtian and said, "Thank you, Lord Po Xiao, for sparing my life. I am willing to obey Lord Po Xiao's command!"
He knew he had no other choice. If he didn't cooperate with Po Xiao, Ye Cangtian would surely not let him go.
Furthermore, even if Po Xiao let him go, he wouldn't be able to return to Sky Net.
Both the Blood Night and the Palace of Light factions were extremely suspicious.
If he were to be released by Po Xiao for no reason, they would suspect him of being bought off by Po Xiao, and he would still face a dead end.
Therefore, it was better for him to cooperate with Po Xiao now. Perhaps this way, he could not only save his life but also gain unexpected benefits.
"Heh, you're quite sensible!"
"But how can you make me believe that you are truly willing to obey me, and not just trying to trick me?"
Looking at the kneeling assassin before him, Ye Cangtian was momentarily stunned.
He hadn't expected the other party to be so straightforward and surrender immediately, so he couldn't help but feel a bit suspicious.
"My lord, my mother and wife and children are all in Kill City. If you don't believe me, you can take them away, and I only ask that you treat them kindly!"
The assassin quickly replied upon hearing this, and then provided his home address.
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian's trust increased somewhat.
After all, even the most ruthless assassin wouldn't ignore their family.
Especially since his mother was among them.
"Eat this. If what you say is true, I promise I won't kill you."
Ye Cangtian took out a Spirit Sealing Pill and tossed it over.
Without a word, the other party swallowed the Spirit Sealing Pill.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian's trust in him increased further.
However, he still made a call to Butcher.
The call connected, and Butcher’s voice came through, "Lord Po Xiao, do you have any instructions?"
"Butcher, I'll give you an address. I want you to immediately send people to investigate if these people are..."
After a brief explanation, Ye Cangtian hung up the phone.
Then, Ye Cangtian took the assassin and left the place together.
After all, this was Kuluomen's residence, and with Kuluomen having escaped, reinforcements might arrive at any moment.
Although Ye Cangtian didn't fear them, it was still wise to be cautious. After all, Gui Wu's strength was limited, and if they encountered a large number of powerhouses, it would still be difficult to escape.
...
Speeding all the way, Ye Cangtian and the others returned directly to the Slaughterhouse.
Through the journey, Ye Cangtian learned that the Earth-level assassin before him was named Guan Ping.
He was an overseas Chinese in Huaxia, a mixed-race individual, who had come to Kill City with his father to live since childhood.
This fellow also had a very interesting codename: Porcupinefish.
After learning some things about Porcupinefish, Ye Cangtian's trust in him increased further.
Upon returning to the Slaughterhouse, Butcher immediately came forward to meet Ye Cangtian.
"My lord, you're back?"
"Was the operation last night successful?"
Butcher asked with concern.
Ye Cangtian nodded and said, "It went relatively smoothly, but Kuluomen managed to escape!"
